Don't Save Search State

mkoenig

How do you go about not saving the search field. I want it to save sort, and item per page preferences, but not the searched data.

This causes an issue.

Thanks Datatables!

Example in the documentation for 1.9 (currently in beta, although the release will be soon): http://datatables.net/docs/DataTables/1.9.beta.2/DataTable.defaults.html#fnStateSaveParams

Hey thanks so much for the reply :)

I added the data to the current script and it now reads

[code]

$(document).ready(function() {
dTable = $('#example').dataTable( {
"bStateSave": true,
"fnStateLoadParams": function (oSettings, oData) {
oData.oFilter.sSearch = "";
}


} );
} );

[/code]

But this removes the searchbox and all the filtering/sorting.

I upgraded to beta 1.9 of course :)

Any idea?

Does your table have an ID of 'example'? Are you getting any script errors?

It looks like it should be working to me :-)

Lol yes it does i should change the name from example to something else and then change the corresponding dTable = $('#example')


Ok, well i guess ill just wait for the full release no big deal. I really like the software :)

I needed this same feature in the latest version.
Another poster recommended this:
There is a plugin that clears the DataTable filter here fnFilterClear
http://datatables.net/plug-ins/api

....and it worked for me - using the latest version of Datatables and the plugin.
